Winner of the Great Exhibitions Competition!

The BSHS is delighted to announce that the winner of the fourth Great Exhibitions Competition, is the Adler Planetarium, Chicago for their innovative display, What is a Planet? They have put together an engaging exhibition which draws on cutting-edge research to provide a fascinating and immersive visitor experience.

In judging the entries, the Outreach and Education Committee wanted to recognise the strength of the field by awarding the status of Highly Commended to The Medical Museion, Copenhagen, for The Body Collected. The Museion has a strong track record in innovative approaches to interpreting medical topics, and this excellent exhibition is no exception.

The What is a Planet? exhibition at the Adler Planetarium runs until 8 January 2017, whilst the closing date for The Body Collected at the Medical Museion has yet to be determined. Catch them while you can!

We were delighted to receive such a strong field of entries for the competition, which recognises particularly the way in which the latest research in the history of science, technology, and medicine is presented to public audiences.
